Frequently Asked Questions

​

Who qualifies for Greek dual citizenship?

Anyone with a Greek parent or grandparent who was a registered Greek citizen is likely eligible. Eligibility is based on direct bloodline, not where you were born or where you currently live.

​

Do I have to give up my current citizenship?

No. Greece fully permits dual citizenship, so you keep your existing nationality while also becoming a Greek citizen.

​

What is the difference between Greek citizenship and a Greek visa?

Citizenship is a permanent legal status that makes you a full Greek and EU national. A visa is a temporary permit to live or work in Greece for a defined period. They are entirely different pathways.

​

How much does it cost to get Greek citizenship through GetGreece?

Cases typically range between $2,500 and $4,500 USD depending on complexity. While rare, some cases may fall below or above this range. The exact cost for your case is determined during your document case review consultation.

​

How long does the process take?

Most cases take between 6 months and 2 years. Cases involving grandparent lineage or missing documents can take longer. GetGreece helps avoid common delays to keep your case moving. Please note that these timelines are estimates and not guarantees.

​

Can my children become Greek citizens too?

Yes. Once you obtain Greek citizenship, your children are eligible to claim it as well, passing the heritage down to the next generation.

​

What documents do I need to get started?

At minimum you will need your birth certificate, the birth certificate of your Greek parent or grandparent, and any marriage certificates in the lineage. GetGreece will provide a full document checklist during your consultation.

Yes. GetGreece works with clients worldwide. Whether you are in the United States, Canada, Australia, the UK, or anywhere else, the entire process is handled remotely through a limited power of attorney so you never need to travel to Greece.

​

Why should I use GetGreece instead of going directly to a Greek consulate?
